đ¨Pep Guardiola on Cristiano Ronaldo refusing to answer when the reporter ask him about Messi scoring twice yesterday and he left and say Mbappe too scored.
đŖī¸âActually I think that was the best answer he gave them, a lot of people will say he disrespected there but football is beyond that level for you to think that way.
I think weâre in an Era where people watch football and knows nothing about it, Cristiano Ronaldo was smarter and brave to ignore and move ON, him saying there could have resulted that he was competing with anyone not alone Kylian Mbappe and Erling Haaland to scored twice yesterday.
He is focusing to achieve whatever is meant for him in this generation heâs an incredible player with much impact in the National team, this is not how the football we use to know drops off. At his age (41) and heâs still carrying the team on his shoulders, itâs just incredible.â
RomÃĄrio directly asked Ronaldo NazÃĄrio about the viral quote claiming he called Lionel Messi the greatest of all time. đ
Ronaldo (R9) : "I never said Messi is the best in historyâĻ We discovered it was a fabricated by the newspaper Mundo Deportivo in Barcelona. They published it with a photo of me and a fake quote, making it seem like it came from me!" âđ°
Another Messi PR exposed!
đ¨ Dimitar Berbatov on why Cristiano Ronaldo is a more complete player and the GOAT than Lionel Messi after Portugalâs dominant victory over Uzbekistan:
đŖī¸ âWhen people compare Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi, they usually focus on talent, goals and trophies. But for me, what separates Cristiano is how complete he became as a footballer.â
âHe was not born as a goalscorer. People forget that. At the beginning of his career, he was a winger who entertained, dribbled and created chances. Then he transformed himself into one of the deadliest finishers football has ever seen.â
âHe can score with his left foot, his right foot, from outside the box, inside the box, from free-kicks, penalties and headers. In the air, he is as dangerous as many elite strikers. There is no weakness in his attacking game.â
âMessi is a genius, one of the greatest talents the sport has ever produced. But when I think of the most complete footballer, I think of Cristiano Ronaldo because he has succeeded in every possible way and adapted his game to every challenge.â
âHe dominated in England, Spain, Italy and on the international stage with Portugal. Different leagues, different styles, different teammates, same outcome: goals, trophies and records.â
âWhat impresses me most is that he never accepted limitations. If people said he could not improve something, he worked until it became one of his strengths.â
âLook at him now. After everything he has achieved, he is still scoring at the World Cup, still breaking records and still leading Portugal from the front. That mentality is what makes him unique.â
âFor me, the GOAT debate will always be subjective. But if you ask which player combined elite talent, athleticism, adaptability, longevity, goalscoring and mentality at the highest level for the longest time, my answer is Cristiano Ronaldo.â

đ¨đŖī¸ Thierry Henry after Cristiano Ronaldo finally found the net:
"People were laughing. People were doubting. People were saying he was finished. But that's Cristiano Ronaldo."
"One chance. One moment. One finish. That's all he needs."
"At 41 years old, the pressure on him is bigger than on any player in football, yet he still delivers when the world is watching."
"Love him or hate him, football will never see another mentality like Cristiano Ronaldo's. The critics spoke for days, but Ronaldo answered with a goal."
The king heard the noise... and responded on the pitch. đđĩđšđ
đ¨ Pep Guardiola on Cristiano Ronaldo after scoring twice vs Uzbekistan:
đŖī¸ âTwo goals tonightâĻ people will say itâs normal for him, but nothing is normal when a player keeps producing this level at this stage of his career, in any match, under any pressure.â
âWhat impresses me most is not only the goals, but the mentality. Every action, every movement, every touch feels like it could decide a final. There is no relaxation in his game, ever.â
âFirst goal â pure instinct. He reads the space quicker than anyone else on the pitch. That anticipation is not accidental, it is built from years of being in those exact situations and finishing them.â
âSecond goal â hunger. At his age, most players rely only on positioning and experience, but Cristiano still attacks every chance with the same aggression he had as a young player.â
âPeople keep waiting for him to slow down, but he keeps responding in the same way: goals, movement, and a constant presence in decisive moments.â
âThis is not luck anymore. This is repetition at the highest level. A career built on discipline, obsession, and an unbelievable desire to stay decisive.â
âIn the box, defenders donât defend normally against him. They hesitate, they adjust, they think one second too long â and against him, that is enough.â
âThat is why he is still Cristiano Ronaldo. Because even when everything around him changes, his impact in the final moments does not.â

đ¨Carlos Tevez on the most complete player between Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo:
đŖī¸ âIâve been fortunate enough to share dressing rooms and battles with both Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, and that gives me a very clear perspective on what each of them brings to the game. People often talk about talent, goals, or moments but when you speak about the most complete player, you have to look at everything: physicality, mentality, consistency, and adaptability.â
âFor me, Ronaldo edges that category. Not because Messi lacks anything, but because Ronaldo has built himself into a player who can dominate in every possible way. Iâve seen him in England, Spain, and Italy, and he was decisive everywhere. Different leagues, different systems, different teammates â same result.â
âIn England at Manchester United, he learned discipline and end product. In Spain at Real Madrid, he became a goal machine under pressure every single week. In Italy with Juventus, he adapted again, leading the attack in a more physical, tactical environment. That ability to change and still be the main man is what makes him complete.â
âWith Messi, what you get is something different â pure genius, unmatched creativity, and control in tight spaces. He makes the game look like itâs happening in slow motion. But Ronaldo brings something else: power, aerial ability, both feet, leadership, and a mentality that refuses to drop regardless of situation.â
âHaving played with both, I can say this clearly Messi is the most gifted player Iâve ever seen, but Ronaldo is the most complete footballer Iâve ever shared a pitch with.â

đ¨Kylian MbappÊ was asked who the greatest footballer in history is between Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi:
đī¸ Reporter: âKylian, when people debate the greatest player of all time, where do you stand?â
đŖī¸ [Smiles] âI always try to avoid these questions because, honestly, we are talking about two players who changed football forever.
âI have huge respect for both Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi. They have dominated the game for nearly two decades and achieved things that many people thought were impossible.
âBut if I have to choose one, I would say Cristiano Ronaldo.
âItâs not only about the trophies, the goals or the records â itâs about the journey.
âHe succeeded in different leagues, different countries and different teams. He won everywhere he went and adapted to every challenge.
âWhat has always inspired me most is his mentality. His discipline, his work ethic and his desire to improve every single day are unmatched.
âHe showed the world that talent is important, but mentality and hard work can take you even further.
âFor young players, Cristiano proved that there are no limits if you are willing to sacrifice and push yourself every day.
âThat is why, for me, he is the greatest.
